AWS security hardening is the work of fixing the weak spots in your cloud environment and keeping them closed. We tighten identity and access, lock down the network, turn on encryption and logging, and bring your account into line with the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark. An audit tells you what is wrong; this is the service that fixes it. Delivered by AWS-certified engineers.
Fixed and documented.
No scare tactics. These are the six areas where a cloud account is usually left open, and the work of closing each one, in plain language.
We trim over-broad policies to least privilege, remove unused users and access keys, enforce MFA, replace long-lived keys with roles, and tighten who can assume what across accounts. Identity is where most real damage starts, so it is where we start too.
We close management ports open to the world, tighten security groups and NACLs to what actually needs to talk, put private resources in private subnets, and lock down public exposure across the VPC. What is reachable from the internet should be a decision, not an accident.
We turn on encryption across EBS, RDS, S3 and snapshots, enforce TLS on every hop, and tighten KMS key policies so only the right roles can decrypt. Backups get the same treatment as the primary data, because an unencrypted snapshot is the gap attackers actually use.
We switch on CloudTrail across all regions with tamper-resistant retention, enable GuardDuty and Config, wire up VPC flow logs, and make sure an alert actually reaches someone. Logging that nobody reads is not detection, so we close that loop rather than just ticking the box.
We set a patching baseline for your EC2 fleet and the AMIs it is built from, so instances launch already current rather than needing a scramble later. Where it fits, patching moves onto a scheduled cadence with a rollback path, not a manual chore that quietly slips.
We measure the account against the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and bring it into alignment, adapted to your workload rather than applied as a blunt checklist. You end up with a hardened environment measured against a recognised standard, and the evidence to show where it stands.
Hardening is the middle step in a security cluster, and it helps to know which service does which job so you buy the one you actually need.
A read-only review of how your AWS account is configured, producing a rated list of findings. It tells you what is wrong; it does not change anything.
Cloud security auditThe remediation work on this page: we close the findings, lock the environment down to CIS alignment, and document every change so you keep an evidence trail.
Scope a hardening sprintOnce the environment is hardened, penetration testing proves it from an attacker viewpoint. Application-layer testing sits alongside it for the software you wrote.
VAPT and penetration testingHardening is not a one-and-done if the account keeps changing. Two shapes, depending on where you are.
Assess the account, fix the findings, and hand back an evidence report that shows what changed and why. A focused piece of work with a defined start and end, ideal when you need the account locked down for a launch, a customer security review, or an audit window.
An account that keeps changing keeps drifting, so hardening can run as part of an ongoing retainer rather than a single sweep. Our CloudOps service is the parent for ongoing operations, with hardening folded into monitoring, patching and incident response.
Every change is written down: what it was, why it was made, and what it closed. You keep the evidence trail, which is exactly what a customer security questionnaire or an auditor will ask you to produce later.
Hardening changes real production settings, so who makes the change matters.
Partner tier is public and verifiable, and it reflects certified staff and delivered work rather than a logo on a website. You can check it before you talk to us.
The people making changes to your account are AWS-certified engineers, stated at team level. We do not hand your production environment to whoever is free.
The founder attends engagement calls, so the person accountable for the company is in the room when decisions about your environment get made, not a salesperson who hands you on.
If your question is not here, ask it on the call. We would rather scope honestly than lock down things that did not need it.
Bring your AWS account and we will look at it with you. If the quick wins are things you can close yourself, we will say so. If a hardening sprint is warranted, you get a fixed scope and a fixed quote before anything changes.
